Function of the pump 

The submersible pump sucks the liquid to be 
pump-ed into the pump through the suction slots 
(5) and pumps it out at the outlet. 

Thermal protection  

Your submersible pump is equipped with a ther-
mal protection switch which automatically swit-
ches off the pump in case of overheating. The 
pump will remain off until it has cooled down. 
After about 15 - 20 minutes, the pump will auto-
matically switch on. 

Setting up and Operating the 
Pump 

1.  Screw the elbow connector (6) into the pump 

outlet. 

2.  Screw the multi-size nipple (7) into the elbow 

connector (6). 

3.  Attach a hose to the multi-size nipple. 

You can cut off the tip of the multi-size 
nipple to fit the diameter of the hose you 
are using. Using a hose with the largest 
possible diameter will greatly improve the 
performance of the pump. 

4.  Uncoil the electric cable completely. 

Make sure that any electrical connections 
are not exposed to water and do not lie 
within the outflow of the pump. 

When placing the pump in the liquid, 
make sure to let it down slowly. You may 
need to tilt the pump slightly so that air 
trapped in the body is released. Set the 
pump on the bottom so that it cannot fall 
over. If the bottom should be sandy or 
muddy or rocky and uneven, place the 
pump on a suitable hard, flat surface or 
suspend it from a rope attached to a 
secure object. Make sure to leave ade-
quate room between the pump and the 
bottom so that it cannot suck up solid 
matter. 

Make sure that the pump does not suck in 
solid matter. Sand or other abrasive 
particles suspended in the liquid will lead 
to increased wear and tear and may 
impact the performance of your pump. 
Before lowering the pump into a well or a 
cistern, attach a rope to the handle. When 
placing the pump inside a cistern, make 
sure that the shaft is large enough for the 
pump to fit. For min. shaft dimensions, 
see Figure C. 

Place a cover over the cistern so that no 
one will fall in. 
 

5.  Plug the pump into the socket. As soon as 

the pump has reached the cut-in (= START) 
level, the float switch will automatically 
switch the pump on. When the liquid has 
fallen below the cut-off (=STOP) level, the 
pump will automatically switch off, see tech-
nical data.
